Our Rachel Maddow-inspired cocktail night has carried over into mornings for me, at the close of my shift. This is my second Edith Day this AM, before I effectively chugged it.

(I felt a lot better about myself when I realized I had forgotten the gin.)

“It’s going to be a rough stretch for Edwards, but how about the Opinionator and the rest of those in the mainstream media, who odd bedfellows like Kaus and Ann Coulter and Gawker’s Ryan Tate and Daily Kos’s Lee Stranahan have been pillorying for ignoring the issue.”
